“"Perish" is the second single off our new album "Holding Absence", and it helps to show a darker, heavier side of our universe. The album contains lots of different depths and directions, and we feel like the contrast between "Like a Shadow" and "Perish" helps to perfectly sum up the forthcoming album”, says vocalist Lucas Woodland.

Vocalist Lucas Woodland had the following to say about the bands newly announced full length: “After what feels like the longest time, we are incredibly happy to announce our debut self-titled album, "Holding Absence". Lyrically and musically, we have pushed ourselves so hard to have an album that we fully feel represents this band in the best way possible. We’re so proud of this release, and cant wait for you guys to hear it”.

To coincide with the release of the album, Holding Absence will be embarking on their biggest headline tour to date at the end of March. Alongside US melodic hardcore standouts Capsize they will take in 8 dates across the UK, culminating in a show at London's famed Underworld on 29th March.

In regards to the band's headline tour dates, Lucas commented: “We’re incredibly excited to announce that we’re back touring the UK this March. This is going to be a really special run as we will be celebrating the release of our debut album, and will be adding a whole load of new tunes to the set list. Joining us on this run will be Capsize, a band we’ve loved over the years and really look up to in the scene - It’s an honour be taking these dudes out. We can’t wait to play for you guys and show you what we’ve been working on!”...
